Background. The aim of this study is to describe major trauma cases in Navarre and analyze differences based on mortality groups, sex, and mode of injury.
Methods. Cross-sectional study of major traumas (severity ≥3) registered in Navarre between 2010 and 2019. We analyzed the type of trauma, intentionality, the mode of injury, and the affected anatomical area. The odds ratio for major trauma associated with different variables was calculated.
Results. The study included 2,609 patients; mean age was 54.7 years (0-101) and 70.9% were male. A predominance of accidental (84%) / blunt (94.7%) major traumas was recorded, primarily resulting from falls (46.5%) and car accidents (18.4%). Women experienced more falls and pedestrian accidents, while men had more motorcycle, bicycle, knife/firearm accidents, and contusions. Most major traumas affected the head and thorax. Head trauma was significantly more common in deceased individuals and women, while thoracic trauma was more frequent in patients who died on-site and in men. Head injuries were caused by falls from low heights and firearms, whereas thoracic injuries resulted from car accidents and falls from height. The risk of major trauma decreased with age; deceased patients were between two and three times more likely to present lesions in all anatomical areas.
Conclusions. Gender differences are observed in intentionality, type, and mode of injury. Head and thoracic injuries are potentially life-threatening and abdominal and extremity/pelvic ring injuries are associated with early deaths. This suggests that the extent and severity of these injuries complicate treatment and management.
